Muslims Go Nuts at Swedish University Movie Screening

Fletch says...

"Allahu Akbar" seems to allow/justify/rationalize any stupid/wrong/reprehensible shit.

I have my own version. I tend to call people bad names when I drive (BION), kinda like in the Louie CK bit posted here a while back. One day, I decided that all of that negative energy was probably bad for me (and others), and decided to try to alter my behavior. I would catch myself cussing someone and say to myself, "stop calling people names, asshole". It worked pretty well for a while. Then, one day, I noticed that I was cussing people with regularity again, but I would always follow up with a "stop calling people names, asshole". It makes me feel better when I say it, I guess; less of an asshole. "At least I'm trying", ya know? Lately, I've been dabbling in "shut up, idiot". Maybe I can find some true enlightenment there.

Noam Chomsky on Stupid People

Fletch says...

"Stupid people, these people have power." - Noam Chomsky

Because they seem to keep getting elected by stupid people who vote meaningless litmus-test issues meant to distract and misdirect, rather than their own interests.

Edit: Omg, he ould be talking about voters.

Talented and funny kid magician..

Fletch says...

When I was a kid, I had an egg (and some coins, maybe; definitely remember the egg) pulled out of my ear when I was called up during a magic show in the basement of my church. He didn't say anything to coach me, or wink or anything. I was just a prop who stood there and had shit pulled out of his head. Nowadays, I do the same trick on myself. For free.

artician said:

Any sifters been called up on stage for a magic trick before? I only know of a few scarce people who have actually done it, and every time they were either expected to "play along" with a wink and a nod, or were told such under the breath of the performer as they got onto stage.
I think I've heard of people being coached beforehand to be picked from the crowd, but I can't remember if that was something I was told from an others empirical experience or something I read online once....

Richard Dawkins does Psychedelic Internet Memes

Fletch says...

NOT Terrible and NOT Fail. And channel designations shouldn't be used to communicate your personal feelings about a video, or I'd suggest "Bravo", "Education", and "FTW", all equally inappropriate based on their channel descriptions. Maxxing out with bullshit channels just prevents proper channels from being assigned, like *philosophy, *nature, or, ironically, even your OWN channel, *learn.

Zimmerman's Lawyer's Opening Statement Is a Knock-Knock Joke

Fletch says...

The Martin gangsta persona is bullshit, but the paranoid racist with delusions of grandeur portrayal of Zimmerman seems to be pretty accurate. Idiot should have stayed in his car, and although the asinine law may acquit the motherfucker, he killed Martin, and it was his (Zimmerman's) own damn fault.

And yes, catbutt, even the far-rightie nutters have a small delegation here at VS, replete with their own delusions, as well as the occasional drifter who succumbs, temporarily, to their representative media's onslaught of stupidity and faux rage.

catbutt said:

What's up with the Zimmerman support, at Videosift of all places? I can understand chinglalera blindly defending anyone in Zimmerman's position just to maintain their rebellious online persona, but jesus christ

What a Bitch!

Chef Ramsay versus/vs. Douchebag Cook

Fletch says...

"Three Michelin starred chef" is a douchebag for using his success to disrespect, demean, belittle, and insult people for his jollies. I wouldn't have put up with it either. Some people will grovel to and ass-kiss huge egomaniacs who are abusive to them if they think they may benefit from it. Other people have a little self-respect. I'd hire that guy.

robbersdog49 said:

It's not easy to get the opportunity to work with a three Michelin starred chef. Whether you like him or not he can cook and his name on your resume speaks volumes.

Why do people do things like this? It's like Amy's Baking. What an opportunity! One to one tuition from a Michelin starred chef and the publicity the program brings and they piss it away.

Chef Ramsay versus/vs. Douchebag Cook

Fletch says...

Ramsay vs. douchebag, and Ramsay isn't speaking into a mirror?

Ramsay started the namecalling, and then accuses him off "mouthing off"? This just looks so forced and ramped up on Ramsay's part. Part of the "show", I guess.

And, actually, Ramsay does sound scared, even with his two bodyguards there. His version of events seems to forget just about every single thing he said to the guy.

Glenn Greenwald vs. David Gregory

Fletch says...

Suggesting people vote for Tea Party candidates as an alternative to Democrats who leave much to be desired is like suggesting rubbing an inadequately-treated flesh wound with fresh dog shit. We'll get it fixed when a better treatment is available, but we're good with the bandaid for now, thank you.

What slippery slope we live on.

The government commits mass crimes against its people and the messenger is convicted.

Get you ass in gear and vote for TEA Party candidates.

How to uninstall McAfee Antivirus

Fletch says...

Strange video. I left Norton for McAfee when Norton became a bloated mess that took over your whole computer, then left McAfee for NOD32 for the same reason. Several AV's later (AVG, F-Secure, Kaspersky), I'm using Avira. So far... works well, low memory footprint, don't need to disable it for anything to work correctly, doesn't bog the system down at all. If Avira wants to lose me as a customer, all they have to do is start pushing a "security suite", which they offer, but I'm not interested. It probably goes back to my DOS days, but I dislike giving control of my computer to third-party software. And you can suck your "cloud". No thank you.
